316 Stainless Steel Plate
316 stainless steel plate is one of the most widely specified austenitic stainless steel products in industrial procurement, valued for its exceptional corrosion resistance, mechanical strength, and long service life across demanding environments. Whether you require standard mill dimensions or custom cut-to-size processing, our supply chain delivers consistent quality backed by full material traceability and certified test reports.
What Makes 316 Stainless Steel Plate the Preferred Choice?
The defining characteristic of 316 stainless steel plate lies in its molybdenum content — typically 2% to 3% — which significantly enhances resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion, particularly in chloride-rich environments such as seawater, brine solutions, and coastal industrial facilities. Compared to standard 304 grade, 316 offers measurably superior performance in acidic and saline conditions, making it the material of choice for engineers who cannot afford premature failure.
Key mechanical properties include:
- Tensile Strength: ≥515 MPa (75 ksi)
- Yield Strength: ≥205 MPa (30 ksi)
- Elongation: ≥40%
- Hardness (Brinell): ≤217 HB
- Operating Temperature: Up to 870°C (1600°F) in continuous service
Specifications and Available Dimensions
Our 316 stainless steel plate inventory covers a broad dimensional range to support diverse fabrication and structural requirements. Standard stock and custom processing options include:
- Thickness: 1.5 mm – 100 mm (and beyond for heavy plate)
- Width: Up to 2,500 mm
- Length: Up to 6,000 mm, or custom cut lengths
- Surface Finish: No.1 (hot rolled), No.2B (cold rolled), No.4 (brushed), BA (mirror), and PVC-coated
- Standards: ASTM A240, EN 10088-2, JIS G4304/G4305
- Grade Variants: 316, 316L (low carbon), 316H (high carbon for elevated temperature), 316Ti (titanium-stabilized)
All plates are supplied with mill test certificates (MTC) in accordance with EN 10204 3.1 or 3.2 upon request, ensuring full compliance with international procurement standards.
Industry Applications of 316 Stainless Steel Plate
The versatility of 316 stainless steel plate makes it indispensable across a wide range of sectors:
- Marine and Offshore: Vessel hulls, deck fittings, subsea equipment, and offshore platform components where saltwater exposure is constant
- Chemical Processing: Reactor vessels, storage tanks, heat exchangers, and piping systems handling aggressive acids and solvents
- Food and Beverage: Processing equipment, storage vats, conveyor components, and hygienic surfaces requiring frequent washdowns
- Pharmaceutical: Cleanroom equipment, bioreactors, and sterile processing environments demanding high purity and corrosion resistance
- Architecture and Construction: Cladding panels, structural supports, and decorative facades in coastal or urban pollution-heavy locations
- Oil and Gas: Wellhead components, manifolds, and process equipment exposed to H₂S and CO₂ environments
Custom Cut-to-Size 316 Stainless Steel Plate Processing
Beyond standard plate supply, we provide value-added processing services to reduce lead times and fabrication costs for your project.
